Explosion at MEN Arena/Victoria Station

Lost for words.

Really hits you when it's so close to home.

 

[HelloCity]

Wow.

Imagine using this as an "opportunity".

My brother messaged me last night to tell me that there had been a suspected explosion at the Arena. He was told about it by his wife who was at the gig with their daughter. I told him not to worry as it was probably an electrical fault.

I woke up this morning to the news. I'm absolutely devastated. I'm in floods watching the news. I have always been parochial when it comes to my hometown and it has only grown since I have moved away. I love my city so much. It's devastating and terribly sad what has happened. At the moment, I cannot even get angry about it.

My heart goes out to those who went to the concert and the families directly affected by this horrendous act.

I think the goings on at the Etihad are because it's being used as a meeting point for lost people
Gate 11

Wow.

Imagine using this as an "opportunity".

She was asking for "a final solution" earlier. She's been reported to the police

 

[M18CTID]

Wow.

Imagine using this as an "opportunity".

Oh, ffs. Her and Bell are a right pair together

 

[Clevers]

Wow.

Imagine using this as an "opportunity".

When I see her I think burqas should be compulsory.

 

[Gabriel]

Wow.

Imagine using this as an "opportunity".

Think she trots the same line out after every similar atrocity. The vacuous are not famed for their originality, nor their sensitivity.

 

[bluesteve1964]

Same here. I suspect it might not go ahead.

5Live reporting that her management team have canceled the rest of her European tour.

Trying desperately to keep my anger on this in check.

My thoughts are with everyone today.
